"The city of light" Paris by aero198
Paris Travel Guide: 23,002 reviews and 57,080 photos
Visiting Paris is magic. So many things I've studied at school and read of, and now I can see them personally.
It was a short visit, just for 4 days, so I focused in visiting the classics.
Good things of Paris:
- The Wine: Even the cheapest french wine is very good, and is good for the freezing cold of the french winter.
- The Metro: Every attraction can be reached by the metro network, it's old but in excellent condition.
Not so good:
-Credit cards: I'm used to pay everything with credit card when I'm travelling. In Paris (and I think in Europe in general) many stores don't take credit cards :(
-English: In many places English is not spoken, so it'd be a good idea knowing some basic French...

with wp 3.0.1 all widgets stop to work and I can't move change and delete them, all look to be iced.
Just tested the Quick Post Widget with 3.0.1. Everything works fine.
@inapan Sorry to necro the thread but there is a compatibility problem of some sort, I just posted about one I encountered with "CollabPress." I also posted some other issues I found while trying to integrate the plugin, I hope they help make yours better because it's an awesome plugin!
Had some forum contact with ninjadoll.
Thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-quick-post-widget-breaks-with-typical-plugins?replies=7 says it all.
The CollabPress plugin uses jQuery-UI form Google CDN which conflicts with the WordPress built-in jQuery-UI the Quick Post Widget uses.
The FCKEditor plugin disables the WYSIWYG checkbox in all profiles. This information however is also used by the Quick Post Widget. There is a small workaround in the thread mentioned above.
The other two issues were not a problem caused by the Quick Post Widget.
Forgot to mention: there's also a small workaround for the conflict with the CollabPress plugin. Look at the thread mentioned above.

Since some of you have asked, here is a bit of background on my "creative" process for this site.
The site is definitely an "extra" thing in my growing list of web projects, so I try to keep everything as simple and raw as possible to get things done quickly. Here's how it works:
1. I take notes and make rough thumbnail sketches as I watch the show.
2. Before proceeding to the next episode I write down my synopsis and select the thumbnail sketches that I will enlarge or re-sketch for the final post.
3. As you can tell, there is no refinement of any sketch. I jot it down quickly and scan it, then add a few gray washes here and there in PhotoShop for the final image. Believe me, I am as surprised as you are with the final result.
4. This site is built with the WordPress CMS and an off-the-shelf theme. (See footer for all the links to the original theme builder)
5. The theme requires 3 images. The large lead image in the main homepage slideshow, the smaller header image for the blog page and a thumbnail image for the archive.
Despite the lo-fi, non-refined, nor proofed copywriting, this is still very time consuming. I am thinking of a different approach after Season One is completed. Stay Tuned.
I am back with weekly sketch reports for Season 6. Subscribe and don't miss a single "sketchisode."

You May Now…Kiss the Bride
The first kiss is a pivotal moment in any wedding ceremony. Have you ever wondered why the ceremony ends with the officiant proclaiming "You may now kiss the bride"?

In ancient Rome, every legal contract was traditionally sealed with a kiss. Thus, a marriage was not legal until the bride and groom had kissed.

I LOVED this hotel! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating - they made sure I was settled and attended to my every need. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, with really cool design in the rooms - I wish my apartment looked like this! The location was also ideal, especially if you like walking around - it is about a 20-30 minute walk from the Jaffa port and a less than 10 minute walk from the shuk.
This was a very nice, very clean hotel. The staff was extremely accommodating. We had just arrived in Israel and it was quiet enough to sleep at odd hours. Restaurants were within walking distance and the hotel offered a very nice breakfast.
the view from our room was simply the brick of other buildings. Could not see the Mediterranean at all.
Location, room and amenities.
Great staff. Super nice people. The hotel itself...meh..definitely definitely not five star, perhaps not even four. Tiny room and bed so small I could barely fit. Noise from hallway came into room. I'd say it's a good four star.
The bed was tiny, barely fit one person.
The location was fantastic. The pool and spa was great. In the business lounge the food was delicious. The staff was helpful.
There was nothing not to like
Very good service and spacious room.
The restaurant on the 11th floor was a bit pricey, the food was okay, the service was very good.
nice room, staff and location
a problem with a window that kept opening and construction noises early in the morning from a site near by
details are well-thought-out. Room was small but very well-designed and attractive. Very comfortable. I highly recommend the Shenkin Hotel.
needed more drawer space, more hangers for clothes
Staff was very helpful and easy to talk to. Ordered me a taxi to the airport at 2am. 24 hour front desk service is great.
My room wasn't cleaned before my stay. There was an empty water bottle on the nightstand and the sheets and pillows had hairs on them.
Concierge service was nonpareil! During our week, they provided maps, guided tours, taxis, restaurant reservations -- and even patched up a member of our party who needed first-aid after a minor fall! The cappucino machine was available at all hours (with juice and pastries for breakfast), and an afternoon glass of Lambrusco in the comfortable lobby was most welcome.
No complaints at all! Highly recommended on every score!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - In a game that saw 22 lead changes and 11 ties, a win in Friday night's contest between Rice University men's basketball and Texas A&M was destined to go to the team that scored last. Unfortunately for the Owls, it was the home team that prevailed, 68-65, at Reed Arena.
Max Guercy tied the game at 65-65 on a free throw with 26 seconds remaining, but it was the Aggies' (3-0) Jordan Green who sank the game winner, knocking down a three-pointer on the right wing with just over six seconds remaining in regulation.
The Owls (1-2) advanced the ball into the half court and called a timeout, but a last-second three-point attempt rimmed out to deal the Owls a second-straight last-minute loss.
Neither team led by more than four points in the final 37 minutes of the game as each team seemed to have a response to the other throughout the night.
Several Owls shined on the night as Guercy led four starters in double-figure scoring with 17 points. The sophomore found his shooting touch, knocking down 6-of-10 attempts, including one three-pointer. He added a career-high nine assists and swiped three steals.
Austin Ramljak sank three of Rice's nine three-pointers to finish with 11 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal. Seth Gearhart and Marcus Jackson each tallied 10 points with a pair of treys. Gearhart swatted a career-high three blocks while Jackson added a pair of rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal.
Sean Obi notched a season-best nine rebounds to accompany eight points on 4-of-5 shooting to lead Rice to a 26-24 advantage on points in the paint.
When the Owls were able to get to the foul line, they made it count, sinking 8-of-10 free throws. The Aggies were 25-of-37 at the charity stripe. TAMU missed its first eight three-point attempts in the second half before coming up with huge connections on their final two attempts.
The Owls missed their first four shots of the game to fall into an 8-2 hole before responded with a 12-2 run to grab a 14-10 advantage midway through the first half. The teams traded the lead 12 times in the opening 20 minutes en route to a 34-33 Aggie lead at the intermission.
On the night, Rice shot 45.3 percent from the field and 9-of-29 from beyond the arc. The Owls grabbed 30 rebounds to Texas A&M's 38. Kourtney Roberson led the home team with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting as well as nine rebounds.
The Owls close out the two-game road trip on Wednesday at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The contest against the Islanders is set for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
NOTES: Jackson made his first-career start ... guard Keith Washington did not make the trip for personal reasons ... Rice held TAMU to a season-low 34 points in the first half and held the Aggies to their lowest scoring total of the season (previously 82) ... the Aggies have won 107 of the 189 meetings between the former Southwest Conference rivals ... Rice's 45.3 field goal percentage was the team's highest of the season.

More than 1200 Valpo students (over 35%) help finance their education at Valpo through campus employment, working an average of about 10 hours per week. Many other students work off-campus. Employment can be an important part of a student's educational experience while on campus. Studies have shown that part-time employment of 10 to 15 hours per week does NOT have a negative impact on academic performance, but can produce many positive benefits. These benefits include:
- Fosters good time management.
- Helps to build a resume.
- Provides money for spending and/or paying school bills.
- Teaches good work habits, work ethic.
- Can reduce the need to borrow.
- Establishes professional contacts.
- Fosters involvement and a sense of belonging to the university.

This doesn't make sense for Samsung from a business perspective. They need Apple's money. Apple's already mad at them over the patent infringement and counter lawsuits. Driving up the prices for them alone will just make Apple more likely to find/create competing chip-makers to take over production for them at the earliest possible moment. In what way could Samsung benefit from this decision in the long term?

Keeping It Secret
A great deal has been made of the fact that the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is an old Etonian. But I'm waiting for the wags to accuse the new ABC of benefiting from nepotism. As a man of partial Jewish descent, the ABC-to-be is likely to be a closer relative of the founders of Christianity – Jesus, St Paul, St Peter and St James the Just – than any of his predecessors.
Here's a long and interesting piece in The Telegraph, in which the poor ABC-to-be appears to have been ambushed with all sorts of facts about his father which appear largely to have been unknown to him:
His father was born Bernard Gavin Weiler, the son of a Jewish immigrant from Germany, though he never told his son he had any Jewish ancestry.
"He wouldn't talk about his family at all," said Bishop Welby…
It is a pity that it wasn't Welby's mother who was Jewish – with halacha on his side, I think he'd have a good chance of succeeding Jonathan Sacks for the post of Chief Rabbi.
There appear to have been many things that Bishop Welby was not told by his father and many good reasons for his tightness of lip. However, keeping one's Jewish heritage secret, and not passing it on to your children, is very much a part of the Jewish experience throughout history. A few years ago, BBC 4 broadcast a three part documentary, Jews, which featured the children of Holocaust survivors. One couple, who made it to Britain, simply never told their son that they were a Jewish couple: the son had found out after their deaths and was now attempting to construct for himself some sort of Jewish life and identity. One also thinks of Christopher and Peter Hitchens' late mother. The sons only discovered that she had secretly been Jewish long after her tragic suicide.
It isn't surprising that members of minority groups who can "pass" often attempt to do so. The 'straight-acting' gay with the girlfriend who is a 'beard'. The light skinned black woman who further bleaches her skin. The Anglo-Indian in London who tells people that she's of Italian ancestry. It isn't simply shame, or wanting to fit in: it is the sure knowledge that whatever joys and riches a particular cultural identity might afford, it also brings with it the knowledge that you'll be hated by some, even attacked.
Keeping your head down and your family out of harm's way is a natural reaction to a hostile world. It has happened on a grand scale in the past; about 20% of Spain's population can likely claim descent from Sephardi Jews. There are many reports of Bedouins who practice various Jewish customs, and claim to have semi-converted to Islam at some point in the past.
It is a pity that people should feel that they have to live their lives, so to speak, in the closet.

Bullets hiss and whine overhead. Your commander barks orders in your ear, but you're pinned down, trapped in a wrecked construction site. The corrugated steel wall to your left pings as a smoke grenade bounces off and rolls into a nearby ravine. Overhead, a fighter jet streaks by, engines roaring.
That last time we heard from OCZ was back before the end of 2013, when the company was in the grips of bankruptcy and nobody was sure what its future held. Fast forward to March 2014, and things are looking rather good for the formerly beleaguered company, much to everyone's surprise. Rather than simply dissolve and fade away like we had feared, the company has been acquired by storage behemoth Toshiba, and is now operating as an independent subsidiary.
Despite its problems, we actually liked Nvidia's original Shield Android gaming handheld. Our biggest issue with it was that it was bulky and heavy. With rumors swirling around about a Shield 2, we were hoping to see a slimmer, lighter design. So consider us initially disappointed when we learned that the next iteration of Shield would just be yet another Android tablet. Yawn, right?
Exotic car paint, multiple GPUs, and custom-built chassis' be damned, boutique PC builder Xidax thinks it has the sexiest sales pitch on the planet with its M6 Mining Rig: It pays for itself! Now, we can't say this PC is basically "free" because it ain't that, but Xidax says by using the box's spare GPU cycles to mine for crypto-currency, this baby would be paid off in about four months.
Aftermarket Radeon R9 290X GPUs are beginning to make the rounds, and this month we had a WindForce-cooled behemoth from Gigabyte strutting its stuff in the lab.
We love the fact that NZXT bills this semi-silent-themed case as a "hassle-free experience." We wonder if the company was using the same case that we were, because we encountered quite a bit of hassle building a standard configuration into this smaller-than-usual chassis.
As much as we initially disliked the over-the-top storyline, action, and gameplay of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the more we played, the more we found ourselves growing quite fond of the game. It's more like exercise than a bad wine; worth sticking with for the end results, rather than tossing out after the first sip or two.
Assuming that game publisher King hasn't Candy-Crushed Stoic's The Banner Saga by the time you read this, the Nordic-themed title remains worth checking out, above all, for its gorgeous visuals. Seriously. We almost wish the game were an adventure title instead of a jack-of-all-trades tactical skirmish meets Choose Your Own Adventure book meets Oregon Trail kind of a setup.
Every mobile user who is limited to just one storage bay wants the best of both worlds: SSD speeds with HDD capacities. Both Seagate and WD have a one-drive solution to this problem, with Seagate offering a hybrid 1TB hard drive with an SSD cache for SSD-esque performance, and WD offering a no-compromise 2.5-inch drive with both an SSD and an HDD. These drives are arch rivals, so it's time to settle the score.
When it comes to PC parts and accessories, all roads eventually lead to gamers. Intel and AMD both sell unlocked processors so gamers can more easily overclock their rigs for a few extra frames per second; pro gamer Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel has endorsed everything from motherboards to power supplies; there's gaming RAM; and of course, a whole assortment of accessories designed to give you an edge when smoking your friends on the virtual battlefield.
MSI is offering two flavors of its midrange Radeon R9 270 GPU, formerly known as the Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition. There is a standard model and one with an "X" after its name.
For those who haven't kept up with current events: Late last year AMD launched its all-new Hawaii GPUs, starting with its flagship Radeon R9 290X that featured a blower-type cooler designed by AMD. In testing, it ran hotter than any GPU we've ever tested, hitting 94 C at full load, which is about 20 C higher than normal. AMD assured everyone this was no problemo, and that the board was designed to run those temps until the meerkats came home. It was stable at 94 C, but the GPU throttled performance at those temps.
It's been a while since we reviewed a Toshiba gaming notebook, so we couldn't wait to get our hands on the company's new Qosmio X75. Unlike iBuypower's super-slim and portable 17-inch Battalion M1771 gaming notebook we reviewed last issue, the Qosmio X75 puts power ahead of portability.
Ah, Cooler Master and Corsair. We know you well, especially since the cases we're checking out here are derivatives of cases that have previously been featured in Maximum PC's annual opus, the fabled Dream Machine.
The WD Black2 is an answer to the prayers of mobile users who have just one drive bay but want the speed of an SSD with the capacity of a hard drive. Unlike a hybrid drive, which stores all data on a hard drive but uses a limited amount of flash storage for caching, the WD Black2 features an all-new design whereby a single 2.5-inch enclosure houses both a hard drive and an SSD—two distinct drives that appear to the OS as such, so you can put your OS on the SSD and your data on the hard drive.
